I wanted to experiment with my concept through food and I thought the best way to achieve this would be to first think of a good recipe which has a appropriate consistency to build. Having decided this I chose to build a chair due to its quite simple structure and my previous research.

Above is a piece I recently did in responce to Olivia Lee's structure below. I covered a small chair in thick wool although some areas were hard to cover therefore I need to think of a new approach of how to cover the legs of th chair. I want to experiment with other materials and with smaller chairs as i feel this will be easier.

Adrian Merz created the ‘Winter 1972′ project by using thousands of white post-it notes in a living room. I'm really interested in the idea of covering/wrapping objects to effectively make them un-usable. I am going to experiment by wrapping forks in various types of wool, strings and shredded fabric.

The above work by Freddie Robins is a clear example of how to make an everyday object useless. Taking away the main purpose of an item is a concept I would like to furthur develop.

My own sculpture above in which I have put several light bulbs into a non-structured knitted basket. I was hoping to create an organic feel keeping the involvement of everyday objects. I am interested in the outcome although I would prefer to look further into the manipulation of an object and a way of re-inventing it.

Both the above pieces do not entail the use of everyday objects although I think it they are very visually attractive and has a very organic feel. With the use of everyday object I hope to possibly experiment with trying to make the edited object feel and look organic. I could do this through wrapping objects with delicate materials.

Tara Donovan has been a huge inspiration to me throughout the past year. Her work is beyond extraordinary and makes one aware of the simple re-invention of a plain paper plate and how when multiples of an object are grouped together an organic feel is revealed.

I think this photograph by Kevin Miyazaki is so delicate and sensitive; his use of line is very attractive to the eye and due to its simplicity one takes a while to capture what the object is.


In addition to fabric samples, I would like to experiment with photographing object out of their usual setting. An example I previously thought about is to photograph a kettle in the middle of the road. My intention is the re-invention of the ordinary in 2D rather than 3D.

I am using this blog to document and record all my research and interests towards my Final Major Project. The images I have posted previously, mainly show artists who use everyday objects in their work and create new meanings through them. I intend to work in a similar way and use their work as inspiration to create my own sculpture or piece.



Thomas Keely is an artist I would like to explore next, I'm interested to look at the way he adapts an everyday item and changes it in to a piece of art work.

the potential of an everyday object

Having previously wanted to study fashion, this piece was very inspirational due to layering of rubber gloves and the impact it creates. The mass of material make the viewer over look the fact than a 'day to day' item has been re-invented.

This particular image of a piece by Hanna Verlin, reminds me of a large bunch of ear buds. This interests me due to my fasination for the use of 'everyday' objects in sculpture and design.

I think this is such an amazing idea: viewers were invited to add coins to the jars for particular wishes. The growing pile of coins palpably depicted the accumulating wishes. At the end of the exhibition the collected money was donated to Make A Wish Foundation.

I have decided to start a blog to document various artists and pieces which inspire me daily. I intend to post a variety of images that will encourage me to approach my current work with a new concept.
